It's an idea that has come up more than once, Zoro as a Merman. I'm just adding to the fun. This is a SanjixZoro/ ZoroxSanji.
This is my first fic I've written in a loooong time, so hopefully it isn't too bad.
Chapter 1: A Change In The Wind.
It'd been a long day at port for the Strawhats, they'd docked at the closest island they came across, resupplying their stock after the adventures in Fisherman Island. Ee-emerging one late afternoon from the bottom of the ocean. Everything seemed a little surreal after they'd been sailing underwater, the sun felt foreign to the skin, the air unnatural as it swept through hair and clothes. But of course this was natural, everything back down there was unnatural.
Nami and Robin had gone shopping, picking up various clothes and books for the next voyage, Franky was on watch with the ship, but that just worked out fine for him, for now he got a chance to make sure the ship was undamaged from the expedition into the deep blue. Brook had opted to stay aboard too while the shipwright worked. Chopper, Luffy and Usopp had done the usual and played about town, getting into trouble, finding the lively entertainment from the quaint villagers highly enthralling, enough to keep them occupied for hours that is.
Sanji the cook had already bought mountains of supplies when they met back up after two years, so he was checking out the bars, mostly the women, along with Zoro.
Zoro was thankful that Sanji had gotten in control of his ridiculous nose bleeds. He had already decided that if he was to have another one he was just going to leave him. Tell the crew he'd gotten lost. Scratching his head, he knew they probably wouldn't believe that.
Dinner time came around late that evening, when the crew headed back to Sunny for food, Sanji whipped around the kitchen like he'd never been away, cooking up some fresh new recipes he'd gotten from Fisherman Island.
"Ahh Nami-Swan~" He fluttered "How do you like the dessert?"
Nami looked up from the fruity mix, smiling and complimenting him on his creation. "It's great, Sanji"
"Indeed Cook-San." Added Robin, taking a sip from her after-dinner coffee.
Zoro rolled his remaining eye at Sanji's flirting, he didn't realise just how much that man annoyed him until he was back in his presence. 'Was he always this annoying?' He questioned, shrugging after finding no answer. The swordsman didn't have time for fancy desserts, he'd picked up a piece of fruit that sat all alone in the cooler, and began eating that before heading up to the crows nest for his watch.
"Idiot Swordsman, always leaving the dishes to me. Oi! Usopp, it's your turn to do the dishes!" Sanji yelled from the kitchen. The sharpshooter turned from his games with the captain.
"Why do I have to do it? I have this illness where I shrivel up and die if I go near dishes!"
Sanji stared- deadpan.
"Really? Sanji you can't make him do that! He'll die!" Chopper and Luffy ever so naïve, protested against the cook.
Sanji could feel his eyebrow twitch with Usopp's obsured illnesses, even more so that his idiotic-lovable captain believed him everytime. He could understand Chopper. But Luffy too?
After a good 'argument' with the long-nosed teen, which involved a lot of kicking and swearing, Sanji relieved himself of the kitchen once Usopp had begun washing the dishes.
Glancing up to the room of the crows nest where a soft light gleamed through the windows. 'The bastard had been pretty quiet all day. Wonder what's bothering him... Not that I care.' Climbing the ladder to have a check. The blond peered through the window but couldn't see the man anywhere. 'Where'd he go?' Pushing his way inside he noticed there was none of Zoro's usual weights around, so he wasn't training. But there were clothes scattered all over the place. Sanji hoped he hadn't stumbled across something he never wanted to see. "Oi, Marimo, are you up here?"
"San-ji?" The voice was barely over a whisper. Blue eyes scanned the room for where it came from. Moving over to the pile of dumb-bells he found Zoro laying behind them. All desheveled, he looked as though he had fallen. "What are you doing?" Concern creeping its way upon the chefs face.
There was another raspy whisper as the chef came closer. Soon Sanji could see Zoro fully, though it wasn't what he was expecting. Where Zoro's legs once were a green fish-tail replaced it.
Hope that wasn't too bad, critique and reviews greatly appreciated.
